Síndesis III

In this edition of Síndesis III, Professor Eduardo Aquino has been linked to the project, with a chapter in which he develops an original proposal about an environmental condition, not necessarily related to the beach as such, in a literal geographic sense, but conceived as a qualitative public space and a place for creative leisure, so necessary for a contemporary society. Ricardo L. Castro returns to this series with an essay in which, during an annual personal pilgrimage, he launches a syndicated look from Delphi. There he finds countless relationships with his experiences of the Chapel of Brother Klaus designed by Peter Zumthor in southern Cologne, Germany. The physical experience, the "immediacy of the place", a term coined by Castro himself, combined with the conceptual and cultural immediacy with the "locus", serve to understand and be able to intervene in the place (either through design, writing , music) in an appropriate form and contribute to the development of the manuscript in a typically syndical manner. My text for Sindesis III, takes up the example already explored by Castro, the Klaus Bruder Chapel, to develop a thesis on the relevance of intentionality in the creative process, and interpretation of architecture, with phenomenological orientation. The text itself is syndical, because it puts together - or sindesis - theories that come from literature, philosophy, and architecture. The specific thesis of this chapter focuses on showing what, with "author's instructions" in the Klaus Bruder Chapel, Zumthor celebrates the poetic rituals of the construction of the work itself. The chapel becomes a poetic memorial to its own construction.
